Any type of erosion is a cause for international concern, water and wind are the two primary causes accounting for more than 80% of the problem. Water erosion includes river and streams, rainfall, coastal erosion, freezing and thawing, glaciers and floods. Moving water erodes the land

Which will cause more erosion slow or fast moving river?
A fast-moving river will erode the land faster.
When do steams erode sediments?
Streams constantly erode sediments. Anytime the water is moving, sediments are being eroded
Where would soil be expected to erode the fastest?
Soil would be expected to erode the fastest at an area where there is fast moving water downslope. This occurs close to watershed where there is a turbulent flow and high hydraulic action.
Why does erosion occur on the outside of a river?
erosion occurs on the outside of rivvers because of the forces of moving water push out or (erode) the landscape, to allow water the flow easier and create more room. the grouynd under the river will not erode because of the gravity and presure of the the water on the ground
What does a water erosion cause?
Water erosion causes geography changes. Overtime, a river can erode land and change the direction of the river altogether.
How does somthing erode?
by water, wind, and gravity moving it
What do wind and water do to land?
They erode the land after thousands of years.
Which will cause more erosion slow or fast moving river?
A fast-moving river will erode the land faster.
When do steams erode sediments?
Streams constantly erode sediments. Anytime the water is moving, sediments are being eroded
Which erodes faster fast or slow moving water in a river?
Fast moving water will erode faster because it is more powerful than slow moving water.
How does runoff erode land?
water runoff causes erosion by beating the surface of the land
What determines the rivers ability to erode the land beneath it?
Type of land surface, speed and volume of water.
How can wind and water Chang lanforms?
Wind and Water erode the surface of the land and they are carried away, making the appearance of the land different.
How do dunes erode?
Wind, water, land-clearing, sand mining and vehicular traffic.
Are rivers able to erode and deposit land?
Yes they are. Water can erode the river banks - and carry the loose soil to other places - where it's deposited.
What is wind movement from land to water?
its wind moving from land to water.
Why do rivers grow wider and deeper along their course?
The acids and the moving water erode the banks and the bottom of the river.
